$150 in halves, $50 dimes, $25 pennies.. First Silver!

[nathan104]

Only my second attempt at roll searching. Hit most of the banks around here the first time and no one had any halves. On the spur of the moment I stopped on my way home today and got lucky. They had $150 in halves. Opened a roll in the truck in the parking lot and the coin on the end was a 1969 40% Kennedy. Thought I was money. Turns out that was the only silver in all the halves but still nice to find one. Heres the results.

1940S
1942 (non-silver)
1946

1948
1950 (keeper!)
1954D
1954S
1957D (2)
1958D
1959D (2)

I now have half a roll (20) of 1950s. Never thought I'd get even close to that.
